SME Finance: Bahrain’s SME Fund has provided BD6.125 million across 114 transactions since opening in March, supporting micro, small and medium-sized businesses through a partnership of banks and Tamkeen. UAE Compliance: As e-invoicing approaches, ADEPTS says businesses should map invoice approvals, disputes and corrections to keep reliable records and avoid customer confusion. Green Transition: Egypt’s MSMEDA plans an innovation support unit and SME database to help firms meet sustainability requirements and connect with larger companies’ supply chains. Gulf Tech Adoption: Many small shops still rely on notebooks despite buying business software, highlighting the need for tools that are simple, trusted and dependable.
